Help put Brazoria County history into the hands of local children!
I'm working to bring Where Did Velasco Go? into local schools, libraries, homeschool programs, and other educational settings.
My initial goal is to provide copies to elementary schools in Brazosport ISD. The district requires the finished book to undergo review and school board approval before acceptance.
Regardless of that outcome, every sponsored copy will be provided to a willing local educational organization.
For just $20, you can sponsor one book and help introduce the next generation to the history of the place we call home.
Every sponsored book will be personally coordinated for distribution by Retro Brazoria County.
Want to sponsor more than one? You can change the quantity at checkout.
Books are expected to be available in January 2027. Educational placement is subject to recipient acceptance. This is a purchase for educational gifting, not a tax-deductible charitable donation.
